Clyde, OH
How exposed is Clyde to wildfire?
Clyde's 3,303 buildings earn a 2nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Clyde at the 2nd percentile, close to its 2nd-percentile risk score.
Clyde's building exposure, zone by zone
92.8% of Clyde's 3,303 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 7.2% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Clyde ranks
There's little gap between Clyde's 2nd national percentile and its 13th percentile inside Ohio, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Clyde ranks 30,900 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,043 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,097 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Clyde and the insurance market
Clyde's low rating (2nd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Clyde's 92.8% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
